You can space the wheel away from the arms but then as you lower the front on the coilovers you will get to a point where you are rubbing the inside top of the wheel arch liner, like I say its an exercise in playing around until you get it where it works and you are happy with the look/drop at the front. It also depends on the ET of each of the sets of wheels etc

Rears should be fine. You'll get an idea of spacer possibilities when youve fitted the wheel and see how far you could possibly move it but with 10" wheels it may still be hard to get it where you need/want it at the front - but good luck!
